Summary

More than 50 Islanders attended a November 20, 2002 update at Peaine Township Hall on the new Medical Center. The presentation described the project’s grant and donated site, the fourth architectural draft, a proposed 7,600-square-foot facility with later senior housing, separate EMS access, operating-cost concerns, and plans to complete bidding documents by mid-January with construction targeted for April 2003.

Evidence limits

The report documents the public presentation and projected schedule, not the final design, construction contract, or eventual occupancy.
